It is beautiful! Not just something a bricklayer would love. Been laying 46 years and for the past 20 or so I've used the Marshalltown 33-11 narrow. Good for brick and block and just an all around great trowel.
Good day, I often watch your channel, I am a master from the Chechen Republic, I use Marshaltavny not long ago, Philadelphia, now I want to try London and I wanted to offer mutual advertising, I started learning English, but I don’t know very well yet
I looked at the list of tools you have. Don't you have an electronic level or a dumpy level, laser level, rotary laser level? As yet I don't have a rotary laser level. I have the Bosch 1200 electronic level and the Bosch 600mm electronic level. I also have a small magnetic Moore and Wright electronic laser level and a laser level for indoors. Hope to get either a dumpy level as they are cheaper although need two people. The rotary will be good to obtain. I have used water to find levels that works okay. Wish I could find my fathers Cowley level. That works ( in case anyone doesn't know ) you have two half moon circles and when both sides of the moon are level it's levels. We used that in the early days setting up form work and levels for concreting.
some advice needed please, first of all, love the channel, your skills, and your work ethic. Binged watched everything in the last month. I'm looking to build a kitchen (I have the shell already). I would love to do brick walls for the Ikea cabinets to sit in. Love the rustic look. I'd be also looking at doing concrete countertops (cast in place method). I've watched your videos and think I know the ways to do it, just wondering if you have ever done anything similar or have any suggestions, this is only for the base cabinets nothing for the walls, etc. Thanks in advance and keep it up. I am living in Thailand now so materials (bricks) are not easy to come by, not normal ones anyway.
Hey could you do a video on how to lay bricks with wet sand and how to get a good mix as I am trying to teach my younger brother and I am struggling to get the proper materials for lime mix . Great vid and thanks.
Nice trowel but noticed your Philly trowel had their new cork handle ??? If so are you happy with it ??? Is it up to par with their original durasoft. Thanks Paul
I don’t think it’s chrome plated , etched definitely. They do make chrome plated trowels . But I think they are considerably more expensive that the 180 squids .Nice trowel the 10 inch narrow London , prefer the wooden handle myself . A Philadelphia trowel is just a narrow London with the wings left on.
I haven't had a wooden handle trowel for a long time. I always thought they were a little to slippy for my liking. The info I was given from Marshalltown said it is chrome plated and laser etched 🤙🧱
Rodian Builds hi rodian look it up on the Marshalltown website says coated to prevent rust doesn’t say anything about it being chromed . I’m not an expert but would there be any point to chroming an etched trowel seems to me the chrome would cover the etching.. They have no chromed trowels on there website at the moment that I can see ,they did have at one point .. Google Marshalltown chromed trowels you’ll see the difference . Was it actually Marshalltown you got the info from or rollins. A bit of spit on the hand solves the slipping. Lol although with the gloves available today it’s no longer a problem
Hi as u know I like the narrow London patten.. yes I would use it but It's a show piece... 10"" is not to heavy.. yoll find out later what it does to yer wrist using a bigger 1 as I have dome but yrs 10" are a lovely balance!!! take care m8
Rodian Builds 1 thing I will also add is the WHS trowels I got all had straight edges not curved as the one u got... and back then the nice feel wooden handle.. I never used the handle to tap a brick down it would always b the edge of the blade but rubbed the brick out more so to the line... but that was easier back then coz plasticiser was added to the muck.. and by god did it help in the laying and the speed of how many u laid in day!!! 😂😂😂
I wouldn’t mind having a go with a London pattern as like you I’ve only used a Philadelphia.A master bricklayer old boy gave me his old wooden handled London pattern whs years ago but was so thin I couldn’t get on with it,that duraflex one looks a beauty tho Rodian,wouldn’t mind giving her a test drive 🧱😎👌
Haha believe or not this was not an intentional rude comment 😂😂 Rodian always says a 10 inch trowel would be perfect for me but we could never find one
that is seriously cool but your title is click bait because my marshal town 1912 is the ultimate trowel ! its totally unique. got it 10 years back and its getting shorter but dread replacing it. i don't like the plastic handle so always search for the wooden handle ones. I don't know why but the blade feels thinner and lighter than any other 1912 iv picked up.
I would like to see stainless steel trowels. I got a trowel either I bought in the 1970s or it was my fathers trowel back from the 1950s 1960s . My father and I built a few houses as my father was a builder and we bricked houses to continue building the rest. I think you could use a stainless steel trowel just don't break bricks with it. Use a bolster or a brick machine wet machine. Anyway I dug the trowel up and took all the cement off it and started polishing it. The steel was very nice and no way made like this today. Once I cleaned the cement off and started polishing I saw engraved Labels on either side. I will upload a video and post so people can see. I also want to polish it more to remove more rust. The trowel is a WHS cannot read second line looks like UNT & S other letters hard to see. On the third line near the handle says BRADE. On the left says an engraved square. Inside the square reads Patern 2031 second line size 12 inch. On the opposite side another square reads made in second line England. Very nice done a lot of work. I also bought a marshalltown trowel much later. The wooden handle is split a little I also sanded a little. The steel is still exceptionally straight. The curve is on the right so I believe a right handed trowel although I'm left handed so I used to strike bricks on the straight end opposed to the curve. I believe you need to break bricks on the curve and pick up mortar on the flat. I always did it opposite as I'm left handed and although you can get left handed trowels they are often hard to find. Of course you can buy from marshalltown. I have bought a number of items from marshalltown and have been very pleased with their service. I'm just sitting here in the kitchen holding the trowel and very pleased. I can see my face against the steel from the light.
Lovely trowel mate you must be bloody bored? Bricklayer: Have you ever seen a trowel go wee? Apprentice: no Bricklayer picks up apprentice's trowel and throws off the scaffold whilst shouting weeeeeee!!.
I bought one and it felt like I was gonna scrape my knuckles on the compo board. I threw it at the apprentice and told him it was his lucky day 😂 £60 down the shitter. Wee man loves it tho
That's a very decorative trowel, too bad Marshalltown sucks. Well, since about 2005 (possibly even before, but 2006 is when I noticed) any Marshalltown mason trowel with that kind of handle bought from Home Depot or Lowes (here in America) IS CRAP!!! .. it's hard to believe that Marshalltown 'used' to be equal to Rose, way back in the 1980s when I started in the trade.
L Milne wouldn’t recommend anyone buy brick trowels online go to the shop and pick out one that suits you as trowels Vary slightly. But of all the trowel brands I especially would not buy a rose trowel on line. They are made from top class materials but they vary widely in quaility .
@@RodianBuilds I bought a 12 inch Marshalltown trowel from Home Depot in 2006 and within a year it 'melted' down to a 9 inch trowel. And it didn't just melt, it melted into a weird shape with a very pointed tip. I Hate The Damn Thing! I Still have a Rose Trowel that took 3 times that long to wear away, and it kept it's original shape. .. I used Marshalltown trowels back in the 80s and 90s and they all performed like the Rose, but Not the one I bought in 2006 from Home Depot. I haven't used Marshalltown since. .... and that handle is atrocious, not a professional trowel, but it was 'cheap' so I definitely got what I paid for. so I shut up now.😉😅
Have to agree w rose all the way, I used to use Marshalltown they were pretty good. Then went to w rose had 3 of them steal a lot better, thought I would try m t again the steal is a load of shit very flimsy at best
@@colinmill3021 when my dad took me to buy my first trowel he told me to get a W. Rose like his but i liked the handle on the Marshalltown so I got it. After a couple jobs cutting reiforcement wire my blade wash chipped up on the sides while my dads W.Rose 20 years old looks like new.
colin mill Mind mate you get a limber blade in Rose trowel which i like nice and light in the hand. You may have got 1 of them 1,s. Have a standard thickness steel w rose and it class steel. Speedcrete good site to use for rose trowels.
Get it bought min stop being tight and support Marshaltown. Lol. Nice present for somebody retiring as you say if they use the brand. You should try a limber blade 10 inch Philadelphia pattern W Rose mate £46 bucks of speedcrete. Lovely trowel very light in the hand. Limber blades if like good flex in blade. Speedcrete email them if you were wanting a limber 1 and they send them out pretty swiftly. Do some nice cork handle 1,s also. In narrow London shape and wide also along with Philadelphia.

Best days work I did with my trowel was throw it away when I retired after having one in my hand for 40 years 👍👍
Martin me too
Martin I sure am, this lockdowns a doddle for me, it’s a minor retirement and they’re all moaning 😂😂
A bad day fishing is better than a good day working 🎣
Your talking my kind of language there 👍
Yes lads i'm still flogging on after 40 odd years cant wait to chuck all my tools in the skip lol
That’s really nice of Marshall town allowing you to promote the company through your channel for nowt! I recon that’s really cheeky of them mate.
Martin that’s what I meant mate. It probably costs them £50 tops for a ceremonial trowel.
It is beautiful! Not just something a bricklayer would love. Been laying 46 years and for the past 20 or so I've used the Marshalltown 33-11 narrow. Good for brick and block and just an all around great trowel.
The perfect package .. popping bubble wrap.... Trowel looking good as well.!.
I’m a trainee bricklayer at college and I use a 10 inch London pattern marshalltown trowel
Good day, I often watch your channel, I am a master from the Chechen Republic, I use Marshaltavny not long ago, Philadelphia, now I want to try London and I wanted to offer mutual advertising, I started learning English, but I don’t know very well yet
Wooden handle version?
I have the 12" narrow London mate "now worn to about a 10". And I'm a pick n dipper. It's a superb bit of kit
Nice that's the nicest cake slice I've seen Mmm where's the cake 😆😅😃😂👍🎂🍰
I think it would have looked better with the leather bound wooden handle
That does sound like a nice combo🤙🧱
I got an estwing with a wooden leather bound handle. Had it since I was a kid. 😀
Marchalltown bricklaying trowell super good.

London pattern all the way for me 👍👍👍
Mate your vids are good but I strongly reccomend giving pick and dip a go for just a month. You'll never look back
@@jamietalbot7254 hi mate Yere I gave it a go on the garage I built. I really like the pick and dip 👍👍👍
I must admit it did feel REALLY good in the hand 🤙🧱
@@RodianBuilds👍👍👍
Is the trowel single? Asking for a friend....
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mighty fine piece of equipment
At first glance I thought you had it personalised with your new logo!
Now THAT is something I would love to have!!!!!
If they sent it to you for review you should really use it to build something, or its not really a review just an advert.
Watching currently and absolutely love the vid
Glad you enjoy it!😁🧱

Best trowel you can have is a worn in one given to you by a experienced bricklayer!
Disagree, you'd do better buying a new one and wearing it in yourself

W Rose the way forward.
There is a gold plated w.rose BTW 👀
